Why do I do the things I do, why do I say the things I say
Sing the songs I sing, pray the prayers I pray
Why do I push myself so hard to go the second mile
Knowing my reward may only be a smile

(Chorus) Well there's a picture in my mind that time can't erase
There's a memory of days gone by that helps me keep my place
It's in the front of my mind, in the back of my mind
To the left and to the right there's an image of man on a cross

Vs. 2 Why should I care what others think
What do I care what others say
When He has won my heart
And I have found my way
What do I care what it may cost
Though it may cost my all
To walk the narrow path
And hear His silent call

Bridge I'm constrained by the love of Christ
I'm compelled to express His light

Cause in the front of my mind, in the back of my mind
To the left and to the right there's an image of a man on a cross
In the front of my mind, in the back of my mind
To the left and to the right there's an image of a man on a cross
To the left and to the right there's an image of a man on a cross
